I have like 30 reddit accounts and I’m just trolling not-for-profit, so… maybe ~1,000,000? Seems legit

The tl;dr seems to be this was a money losing account for Cloudflare, and they couldn’t squeeze them so they weaseled out with some TOS violation to prevent losing money on what was promised to be unlimited traffic, they have better lawyers so they’re not worried.

Cloudflare 100% in the wrong here, they are closing accounts for TOS violations when they are just unprofitable, I would very strongly consider how tightly to couple with them knowing how cavalier they are about squashing small businesses.

If enough of these happen though, they’ll get destroyed by a class action lawsuit, and they’d deserve every bit of it

Right? Who needs a QA team when you can use real live customers for testing

Better yet just edit files live on prod from Notepad (not plus plus) over Samba for “xtreme moral” boost

I just commit directly to master with auto-deploy like a real cowboy, yee-haw!

So its a bank with video calling where you can also get laid and read right wing misinformation, that is a lot of checked boxes

Its been weird, I feel like I’m kind of missing something, same kind of FOMO, but when I actually go back to it I see I’m not missing anything at all. Lemmy is pretty neat, but haven’t fully gotten the hang of it yet. Just discovered how to sub another instance today, so progress is being made.

I’ve been back to reddit probably 20 times in the past 3 months, and every time I’m waiting for the dopamine hit, and it never kicks in. Its just flat now, the content just isn’t that interesting. Its all pretty cringy, and I’m pretty much over it, just going there out of habit, chasing the content dragon that no longer exists.

Facebook is useless, Xitter is dead, reddit lost its way. I’m enjoying Lemmy so far, but it seems to be missing the viral content, ultra red-hot breaking news that reddit used to have.

Digg was the peak of the internet as far as I’m concerned, its gone downhill ever since

I identify with the top left window

The good news is it probably costs Google 1000x in resources to come up with a solution than uBlock to get around it. Its a war they cannot truly win.

Not sure exactly when it happened, but sometime in the past 3-4 years reddit just became not-reddit. It seemed to draw a more Facebook-esque audience than in prior years. There is still some good content there, but its simply not what it used to be.

Using the machines to fight the machines, well done

I’m glad I got my OTA covid update with the recent emergency broadcast, cellphones definitely ON! Vaccine fully activated
